Signing Eric Berry would shore up safety should Vonn Bell prove too expensive...

Maybe the Saints find a way to retain VB. He did lead our team in takeaways in 2019 & was always around the ball.

I'm very surprised Eric didn't get a "prove it" type of deal from any team last season.

One would wonder if Berry would have had more "impact" on the secondary instead of repeated collapses on the back end? IMO Vonn isn't the safety the Saints need to move away/upgrade from.

Eric Berry equals Champ Bailey 2.0

He didn't get that deal because they all know his time has passed.

We'll see if that injury that has lingered since 2017 will have an effect moving forward. I call bullcrap on teams wanting him to play. They may have inquired, but he obviously knew he couldn't do it. Extra years on the body shouldn't help those matters. Vet minimum? Sure, why not give it a try preseason. We can always cut his injured self prior to the regular season. I wouldn't want to pull a Champ Bailey deal again.
